Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.
You really understand the aesthetic of your artist, down to the mark making and distorted features. I think this sketchy style you have is very expressive. I also think once an artist has a style down, they push themselves to try something new and different.
I've always found that using hatch marks as a descriptive tool is something that can be amazing when they are done right, and disastrous when done wrong. You clearly known how to use them. I love good hatch marks! I think if you work on the depiction of the hand your study will look even more like the copy.
Your mark making in both of these pieces is great. The hatching gives a great texture. In your master study I think more highlights might help tie it to the master copy, and maybe a larger, centered composition.
The mark making on both of these worked really well. The value and shading are a little different but still capture how you still kept the style of your master copy.
I think that both of these pieces work together very well. Your original and master have a great use of line and an even more successful use of value. In your own self portrait, the lines may be a bit dark, but I don't think it takes anything away from it.
I think you emulated the artist very well in your study. Perhaps a little more highlighting around the eyes as it seems a little dark, but otherwise good job.
Trying to replicate and incorporate yourself to the copy must have been a frustrating task. Your master copy came out great! Spending some more time on drawing the hand for the master copy would've done good on the master study.
I think the version you did, you challenged yourself to do your best on this version, but I think the compositon could be more original. but over all you did a really good job
The mark making is spot on, as is the expression and feel of the two pieces. In that sense, they relate to each other a lot, and i think you've very successfully created a master study. However there are a couple changes that would really enhance the study. First, i think centering the portrait on the page would have helped it sit better on the plane and have a more intimidating effect. Second, clarifying where the hand would both reduce some of the confusion in that part of the drawing, and it would also clarify the shadow the is falling across your face. great job!
The mark making is consistent throughout both works. It does stand out that there are fewer highlights around the eyes and mid face of your original than in the copy.
You were very successful in creating similar pieces of art. Both works look almost exactly the same minus the subject matter. You really understand which techniques and marks your artist works with and you were clearly able to reproduce them in both pieces.
These are a great pair as they both use plenty of expressive lines, cross-hatching, and hatch marks. The master study is also emotional like the master copy from the marks made. There could be more lights (in value) so that the master study is more like the master copy. The hand seems to become lost in the head of the master study.
Nice mark making. Captures a lot of emotion. Master Study Good use of keeping marks the same. Your hand could be more defined to more closely match the copy. Can’t tell if it is hand or hair.

ReplyDeleteThe mark making is very successful throughout. The use of cross hatching is also very nice and creates a very nice controlled chaos.

ReplyDeleteI like the cross-hatching in both pieces. You do a good job of capturing the dark emotion of the artist. Great job!
